This whole "7 Days of Celebration" idea came to me (Lisa) a few weeks before Erik & Samuel died in an accident. I was so confident that God was asking me to use the last 7 days of 2017 to CELEBRATE all that He had done. He had led me to readings on the Feast of Tabernacles, a time when the Israelites gathered to celebrate how God had provided and protected them during their 40 years in the wilderness. It seemed like a great idea. Share a story a day for 7 days, celebrating all that God had done in and through the ministry of Caroline's Promise. Easy, right?

And then I received the call that rocked my world. It was a snowy, Friday afternoon in North Carolina and I was waiting to have a video conference with our partners in Guatemala. I wasn't shocked to see Delmi's name pop up on my phone but I was shocked to hear her weeping hysterically on the other end of the line. I'm not sure I have cried on that level before. In the hours that followed, bo…

Mary shared her sponsorship story weeks ago before we found out about Erik. We are asking for prayers for Erik's family and for Mary during this difficult time. Mary shared these sweet words on her Facebook page today.

Can you see how sweet this boy was? How friendly and loving? What a gift to have had any time at all knowing this precious child, and I almost missed it. I never meant to get involved in child sponsorship when I first went to Guatemala six years ago, but I am so glad I have. I can't tell you how much richer my heart is for the relationships I have made there and how much God has grown me through the experience of being part of a vulnerable child's life.

Learn to do good;
Seek justice;
Rebuke the oppressor;
Defend the fatherless;
Plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:17)
